Day Study Group Meetings

The Day Study Group is a 2-hour workshop in
which we will discuss a specific topic, with hands-on exercises, and
discussion. After the discussion, we can provide one-on-one mentoring should
you have a "brick wall" situation in which you need help.

Bring any questions you have concerning the program

Special in-depth topics can be scheduled. Please e-mail our group leader Jerry Unruh
with any requests.

Don Cortez of Three Ring Service have graciously donated a
voicemail phone number for Placer County Genealogical Society. We will be
listing this number in our publicity notices in the newspapers and other
publications. The society will then have a permanent number regardless of the
annual change of board members. The answering message will announce basic
information and the upcoming PCGS meetings. Callers can leave messages for the
board members, chair persons and the research committee. Thank You, Don Cortez
